ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie continues the story of Breq, a former A.I. navigating a complex interstellar conflict. As the sole surviving fragment of a destroyed ship, Breq grapples with themes of identity, power, and justice while challenging the oppressive Radchaai empire. Internal power struggles within the Radchaai threaten stability, and Breq finds herself at the center of it all. The story delves into the moral status and rights of A.I.s and non-human entities, questioning traditional notions of personhood. Breq confronts the tyrant, Anaander Mianaai, and works to facilitate discussions toward establishing a new, more equitable government. The narrative explores the potential for transformation in the face of conflict.
